The motivating idea is that giftedness is largely a function of SES and that the high cap kids should still get peer socialization rather than be kept separate, but when class sizes are in the mid 30s and she has to keep answering emails from parents who want to make sure their high cap kids are getting adequate enrichment it ends up being a massive headache.

yeah i was probably fucked up for life because they chose not to skip me a grade when i was 8 or whatever. guess my parents should've let me watch power rangers instead of PBS.

this was also at a time when you didn't get diagnosed with shit if you had good grades.
